This application claims priority from and the benefit of Korean PatentApplication No. 10-2014-0108139, filed on Aug. 29, 2014, which is herebyincorporated by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND

1. Field

Exemplary embodiments relate to oriental medicinal collagen food andmanufacturing method thereof, and, more particularly to, orientalmedicinal collagen food and manufacturing method of the orientalmedicinal collagen food for skin beauty enhancement.

2. Discussion of the Background

Wrinkles are one of the most common symptoms caused by loss of moistureand elasticity resulting from skin aging. Among many theories regardingskin aging, some of which causes are diseases, stress, ultraviolet, andoxidative reactive species which also occurs during normal metabolism.These result in lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, cutting andabnormal crosslinking of elastic fibers such as collagen and elastinchain, and melanin production. These lead to oxidative damage to cellsand tissues, accelerating decrease in skin elasticity, wrinkles,melasma, freckles, and other skin aging symptoms. After climactericperiod, women experience decrease in female hormone excretion, whichleads to drastic decrease in biosynthesis ability of collagen includingskin, especially dermis, resulting from low female hormone level. Toprevent skin aging, reinforcement of collagen biosynthesis ability orbuilding anti-oxidation defensive system to remove and suppressoxidative reactive species are necessary.

The connective tissues of dermis closely related to skin aging mainlyinclude collagen and elastin. The main protein in the connectivetissues, collagen, includes 70-80% of dry weight of dermis providingelasticity, strength, and maintains moisture Decrease in collagenfunctionality from photoaging and intrinsic aging affects skin adverselyby causing wrinkles, rough skin, less elasticity, dryness. As explained,collagen plays a vital, role in maintaining skin elasticity andmoisture, which would come from the proteins essential to cellgeneration. Therefore in dietetics, consumption of quality protein isclosely related to skin health.

Edible cosmetic supplements are mainly collagen products extracted fromfish, meat, and vegetables. Collagen is a type of fibrous protein, amain nutrient for formation of form muscular tissue, skin tissue, bonetissue, cartilage and cornea. Among the constituents of proteins,hydroxyproline, glycine, and serine have great effects on skinelasticity and moisture retention. Korean pharmaceutical or cosmeticcompanies sell collagen products made from imported collagen from UnitedStates and Japan. For example, Chung-Gye Pharmaceutical's ‘Collagen Plus3000,’ Han-Mi Pharmaceutical's ‘New Collagen,’ Je-II Pharmaceutical's‘Collagen 100,’ and Citri's ‘Collagen 1000’ are all 100% or 99.9% madeof imported collagens from the U.S. or Japan. Non-Korean products suchas ‘Collagen Gold’ or ‘Pure Collagen SD’ are also made of pure collagen.Companies all over the world emphasize the collagen purity in sellingtheir products. However, the problem lies on the lack of researchesrelating collagen consumption to increase in collagen content in humanbodies.

In addition, there is another issue that the efficacy of edible collagensupplements is insufficiently proven objectively. There are not manyresearches whether consuming collagen increases the collagen contents ina human body. Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) keeps itsstance at telling collagen can be used as a food ingredient but therelation between eating it and positive effect on skin is notscientifically proven.

Recently, collagen products with increased functionality by addingvitamin, beta-carotene, pomegranate, isopeulrabon from soybean, andothers, are on market. ‘Collagen Crystal 100’ from Saerom Cosmetics ismade of collagen from pork skin, ‘Jeju Horse Placenta Collagen’ isliterally condensed from horse placenta, and ‘Low Molecular Weight FishCollagen’ from Amore Aritaum has fish collagen raw compound outside ofKorea. There are other products with collagen from stingrays, shark'sfin, pig placenta or skin, or sheep placenta.

To strengthen connective tissues like muscle, skin, and bones, atraditional way Koreans used to consume collagen is making gelatin fromheating animals or fishes with high collagen content followed byfermenting them. Collagen becomes viscous gelatin when heated. Theyconsumed it in glue state for easy storage. The examples of edible glueare glue from donkey skin, glue made with antlers, glue from tortoiseshell, glue from snapping turtle shell. Since these materials wereexpensive and hard to procure, they used chicken feet, which can beeasily and massively purchased, to prepare gel from boiling. Othertraditional ways of efficiently consuming collagen were eating fermentedskates or cow knee knucklebone soup.

As explained, traditional ways of consuming collagen is deficient ofproven efficacy from accurate clinical trials, and without examples orprescription specifically meant for skin health improvement. It isdifficult to assess an appropriate price based on efficacy, not knowingwhy such high price has to be paid, Korean Patent No, 10-1361060, issuedto University-Industry Cooperation Foundation at Konkuk University inKorea (Title of invention “Method of Collagen Extraction from ChickenResidual Parts”), maximizes extraction efficiency with swelling chickenskin in acid and alkali, controlling pH to edible range withneutralization, removing odor and unwanted ingredients with hot-waterextraction, and prepare granulized collagen with freeze-dry for easyutilization. Korean Patent No. 10-0733081, issued to Hankook FoodifarnnCo., describing a method of preparing chondroitin sulfuric acid fromchicken feet consist of heated extraction, centrifuge, condensation orcondensing the top part from centrifuge after hydrolysis withproteolytic enzyme and inactivating the enzyme. The method to preparenutrition boost extract and jelly involves boiling chicken feet withatractylodes, amomum anthioides wallich, and other gastrointestinalsupplements Korea Food Research Institute obtained collagen bysonicating from fish skin. There is another way to prepare collagenproduct from collagen with molecular weight around 30,000-50,000 from alow-temperature and low molecular weight process.

However, the above mentioned products for edible beauty supplements donot produce sufficient collagen in a human body. Other processes thatextract collagen from animal only try producing active ingredients usingstrong acids, hydrolysis, or boiling animal parts with orientalmedicines helping digestion. These involve very complex procedures andproduce a lot of industrial waste due to use of strong acid. Lack oftheoretical evidence regarding collagen digestion and biosynthesis in ahuman body is another problem. The above information is only forenhancement of understanding of the background of the inventive concept.Thus, it may contain information that does not constitute the prior artthat is already known to a person having ordinary skill in the art.

The main ingredients in this oriental medicinal collagen food for skinbeauty enhancement may include collagen, chicken feet, dandelion,angelica gigas, and pueraria root. Their main nutrients, efficacy, mainoriental medicinal theory are explained hereinafter.

Collagen: 25 percent of proteins in a human body is collagen. Collagenis the main substance for connective tissues such as bone, tendon, andmuscle. Collagen forms a truss with its three branches of polymerprotein bound strongly. It is not soluble to water, weak acid, or weakalkali, but becomes gelatin when boiled. The known efficacy of collagenis for osteoporosis, knee arthritis, brain development, skinbeautification, moisture retention, increase in immunity, growth anddevelopment, arteriosclerotic, hemostasis, and vision improvement. Aminoacids in collagen are proline, oxyproline, glycine, and glutamic acid.Pig feet, broth from boiled cow bones, chicken feet, pig skin, cow kneeknucklebone soup contain high concentration of collagen.

Chicken feet: chicken feet include bone, joint, cartilage, tendon, andmuscle, rich in potassium, marrow, protein, collagen, and other traceelements. Collagen is fibrous proteins including amino acids, which ismostly found in outer layer of organs, cartilage, teeth, hair, muscle,and skin. It strengthens joints. Chicken feet are not thick and incartilage form. Cartilage parts has chondroitin, skin has glycoproteinsuch as glycine and protein for connective tissues such as collagen orelastin. Considerable mass of extracellular materials exists betweenconnective tissues, and the species and array of these materials specifyconnective tissue proper, cartilage, bone, and blood. Among connectivetissue proper, dermis is a loose connective tissue with dispersedcollagen, a kind of fibrous collagen. Tendons connect muscles and bones,and are dense connective tissues with collagen densely arrayed in aregular or irregular manner. Chicken feet have been known for a longtime to be good for degenerative joint arthritis. Its recentlydiscovered beneficial effect on skin beautification and lowering bloodpressure is due to increase in physiological activity from thesenutrients.

Dandelion: taraxacums are perennial plants in astrales order. Differenttaraxacums are Taraxacum nonogolicum H. Mazz, Taraxacum ohwianumKitamura, Taraxacum coreanum Nakai, and Taraxacum officinale Weber. Theyare used to remedy acute hepatitis, reinforce immune systems, protectliver, promote urination, and remedy mastitis, throat inflammation,swelling due to fever. They have 17 of all proteinogenic amino acidsexcept cysteine, and other 8 essential amino acids. They are 1.4 to 1.8times more abundant in leaves than roots. The leaves contain thefollowing main constituents in order of its contents; glutamic acid,proline, phenylalanine, aspartic acid, arginine, leucine, lysine.Inorganics such as potassium and calcium are abundant along withmagnesium, manganese, and iron.

Angelica gigas: angelica gigas are commonly used for blood-relateddisease because it promotes blood production. Angelica gigas Nakai,Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels, Angelica acutiloba (Sieb. & Zuc)Kitagawa are commonly used. They promote blood flow in coronary arteriesand production of red blood cells. The encyclopedia of basicagricultural plants of ancient China describes it tastes sweet, has warmtraits, is not poisonous, warms body, stops pain, cure arthritis, areused when a pregnant woman has a sign of miscarriage or on their skinproblems, protects five viscera, generates tendons and muscle. Accordingto Compendium of Materia Medica, angelica gigas controls blood, is goodfor womanhood. They cure palsy, chi malfunction, and fatigue. They alsoremove bad blood and produce fresh blood. They are good for habitualconstipation, menstruation and other postpartum symptoms. A researchtells they prevent loss of bone tissues by inhibiting thedifferentiation of osteophage. Decursinol in them is for pain-relieving,decursin for anticancer, angelan for anti-diabetes. They promote redblood cell production and protein synthesis. They are anti-inflammatory,pain-relieving.

Pueraria root: The levels female hormone related to biosynthesis ofcollagen in a human body plummet after menopause. The collagen cosmeticsreleased recently in the market contain vegetable female hormone frompomegranate or isopeulrabon from soybean. One research, however, showedpueraria root has 600 times more vegetable female hormone thanpomegranate.

Hereinafter, a manufacturing method of oriental medicinal collagen foodfor skin beauty enhancement will be described with reference to FIG. 1.

7.5 liter of Gyepogyo from the fourth process was dried with alow-temperature vacuum condenser to produce 850 g of oriental medicinalcollagen skin beauty food powder. 170 pouches with Gyepogyo with 5 geach were prepared.

The oriental medicinal collagen skin beauty food, which is the mixtureof the individual extracts from high-protein and anti-oxidative foods,has beneficial effects on skin elasticity, moisture retention, wrinkle,and pores. The reason for protein content increase is thought to be dueto the fact that the main ingredient, the chicken feet, dandelion,angelica gigas, pueraria root, accelerated the protein biosynthesis andabsorption in a human body. Significant differences were shown inmoisture, elasticity, pores, wrinkles, and other items before and afterthe consumption.

In addition, the increase in bodily water content, skin moistureincrease, and reduction in pore size were verified after the consumptionof the oriental medicinal collagen skin beauty food. This shows that thevegetable protein in pueraria root has a close relation with skinelasticity, pore, wrinkle, and moisture retention.
